Advantages:
(a) cheaper travel destination than Boston or San Francisco, respective sites of alt.polycons 9 and 11.
(b) attractive Inner Harbor area with lots of hotels and a wide range of restaurants.
(c) easy sightseeing distance from Washington DC and a bewildering array of American historical sites (e.g., Mount Vernon, various Civil War battlefields, Fort McHenry).
(d) optional harbor cruise.
(e) cream of crab soup for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

(f) good public transportation (water taxi to most major tourist sites = $5 for all day).
(g) your Con Chair,rivka.
Disadvantages:
(a) heroin and syphillis capital of the United States.
(b) not everyone likes crab cakes.
(c) it's not like the Orioles are exactly a draw.
(d) visitors from more civilized countries might be squicked by Baltimore's murder rate.
